It doesnt matter a whole lot whether the seedling's taproot is placed directly in the downward postion...it is better but not TOTALLY necessary.

At times when i germinate the taproot bends into different angles n shapes everytime depending on how long i let it grow before placing it in a medium. Sometimes the taproot is by accident placed almost upward n left as such because the want not to maybe destroy it in the process of correcting its position.

But my seedlings have never been affected by this and still grow accordingly (streching closer and closer toward the light source as the roots search desperately for moisture)

With the tap root pointing up, would it help to sprinkle a little soil on it to help it until it corrects itself?
